Silver and light bley would be perfect for Medieval uses, as would dark tan for WWII uses.

I think I'd personally prefer dark bley as light bley doesn't get the hard "metal" look quite as well. Still, like I said, colors really depend on what else in the mold, so we'll have to see!

Will must have tons of patience. To have so many prototypes not yet in Production Molds.. If I were him I'd be nuts.

Not really; he just loves designing and prototyping! I suppose he could keep everything a secret until a mold hits, but then it's fun to get the word out about these great items beforehand to spread the excitement. Really, it's always wonderful to the see a prototype that Will worked hard to design get such a big reaction from the community!

I was thinking the same thing because of the possible weapons in the mold, as dark bley would definately be interesting for guns. I do, however, prefer the old dark grey for the brodie. It gives it sort of a old, dirty, battleworn look.

This helmet will be perfect for Pacific and North African Vig's! Now I can finally finish my Japanese Squad!

Too bad we can't pre-order those puppies, I figure I'll be needing a good 20-30 of those fellas in the darker tan color. Go brodies! Gimme gimme gimme!*

HERESY! The Brodie is a well established British piece of rubbish! (seriously, it was inferior to the American and German helmets.)
Mark my words boy, next time, there will be vengence...

The Lee Enfield was the only bolt action rifle NOT to be replaced by a semi automatic rifle as its rate of fire was deemed high enough. Truely, us British do things the hard way.

Well granted I am one of those lucky people that look good in anything....but considering I'm 6ft 220lbs we may have to let that little red dress out a bit, and those heels are murder on my tooties. But yeah...gimme gimme gimme. Patience is a Virtue....in others*


*disclaimer this is a Joke, I am well able to exert self control, I MAY even be able to wait another 24-48 hours**

**disclaimer about the disclaimer, that was a joke too

If you can't change your mind... Are you sure you still have one?

He reminds me more of this ;-)

Seriously, though, I hope to see the Brodie soon; it'll look great on my Tommy figs.

P.S. Will they be sold online? (It's a must have!)

Yes, eventually. Will does have several projects he's working on right now, but the Brodie helmet will eventually see mass production in a variety of colors. Get your Tommy and Doughboy figs ready!

You always figure out a new way to make us anxious, don't you Badger?

The South Essex (Sah!) are ready for Helmets. Can't wait to get a platoon or Company of them kited out!

Me too, I'm in need of brodies for a ww1 trench.

Hope they'll be sold soon,
